CDI Episode 32 - Christmas Country

[alexreuthobbs]

Hi there.

Great reviews - I really enjoyed them. Just wondering if you knew if Christmas Crisis and Christmas Country (both CDI games) could be downloaded/bought for the PC? If so do you know where from?

Thanks a lot, and merry Christmas!

@alexreuthobbs As far as I know, these games were never ported to any other system and remain CD-i exclusives. So the only way to play them is on CD-i. Both are decently common and shouldn't be to hard to find, although Christmas Country might be harder to find outside of Europe.

You could also try and find the disc image of the games online, and burn those to a CD-R. CD-i has no copy protection. You could also try an emulator, but how well that works, I don't know.

ROFL

[HalfBlindGamer]

It's just some random sillyness lol

@HalfBlindGamer fuck santa is a dick kill him next time

[crasheffort]

Hey Seb,

Great review, I really liked how you premised it and gave it a narrative.

You have quite the collection of games. I would be interested to see you do another series where you review games you like from various platforms.

Keep up the great work!

[HalfBlindGamer]

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I might do something like that sometime, should be fun for sure to talk about some excelent stuff for once :)

[ScrewAttackEurope]

You know I never even saw this video when you put it up, it never appeared in my "new videos" page. Bizarre.

But very good review there Seb most enjoyable.

But when for art thou going to do Kether? :D

[HalfBlindGamer]

No worries there, I had the same thing happen to me. Seems YT has been messing stuff up a bit over the holidays with a lot of video's not showing up in the subscription box.

I'm really not sure when I'm going to do it. Got another one planned for somewhere next week I hope and that'll be the last one for a while :(

Might make it the first one after the move,

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Well filming the live action parts is the real time killer really, setting up shots Etc. Maybe do one episode that's 100% game footage!

Oh, I've been meaning to speak to you actually ^_^

[HalfBlindGamer]

I usually like making the real time stuff the most, but yeah, it is time consuming. Also playing throug the damn things haha.

I'll shoot you a PM, you got me curious now.

[smartlamppost]

It didn't appear in my sub box, either. :/ I only found it by realizing that the last episode of yours I saw was ep. 31, and I just saw ep. 33. Oh well, now it's just water under the bridge! Pee water that is! Someone must punish youtube for their idiosyncratic ways, and you, Uppy, are the one to do that! Just go to the temples, that's where they still nest, and there you will find the intent of your quest! Also, review cdi game "Invasion from planet Skyron"! I dare ya!

[HalfBlindGamer]

lol, well phraised :P

I might take up you on that review challenge though. I do have it and it's one of the weirdest 'games' ever. But that's what you'd expect comming from MP.

[HalfBlindGamer]

My pleasure, hope you enjoyed it!

Thank you for watching :)

[amurphy245]

Ha this was really funny,im subscribing for this :D

[HalfBlindGamer]

Thanks a lot man :)

[GeriatricFan1963]

"I know what I got last year, there's no way i'm opening that package!" (Walks off)

...

(Rushes back in and tears open package)

[HalfBlindGamer]

Hah, didn't even need to act that ;)

[callmemarc]

[HalfBlindGamer]

[Johanzu]

Merry christmas and happy new year! :)

[HalfBlindGamer]

Thank you very much and all the same to you!

[TanukiKGA]

I am SO horribly behind on the videos on youtube... Hope you had a wonderful christmas! I think this make the CD-i with the most christmasthemed games I've ever seen! All...two, of them? ^^

You know, this one really doesnt seem to bad compared to..well, some other games for the title. If it had just had some music, I could actually picture myself playing it. Not being excited about it, but playing it! ^^

[HalfBlindGamer]

Thanks a lot man, and don't worry about being late. I hope you had a great time too!

This game does work decentl well, it just drives the frustration levels up quite fast when playing it!

[dancentral]

Awesome video mate and brilliant review, looking forward to your videos next year! :D

[HalfBlindGamer]

[Edgefox88]

Funny story is this morning when I was uploading this review it was snowing abit, but by the afternoon most of it was melted.

[HalfBlindGamer]

Haha, good ;)

Actually, it would be nice to have a white Christmas for once. Here everything has gone onto being ice though, not a real fan of that!

Merry Christmas to you and thank you for watching :)

[MissingNoFilms]

[chupapicosconchetuma]

Finally! more CD-i! I missed that.

[HalfBlindGamer]

Haha, sorry man, I know what you mean!

Have some great holidays and I'll have another CD-i thingy planned in januari :)

[TaffTalk]

Was that Little Drummer Boy in the background?! Awsome!

[HalfBlindGamer]

Yeah, awesome stuff! It's actually a rendition found in Jazz Jackrabbit on that song, pretty sweet!

Merry Christmas man!

[SteveBenway]

Do I see a Uniden Uniace 200? Or is it that Audioline version?

I used to have the black fronted Uniace 200. Wondeful piece of kit.

Brilliant video.

Merry Christmas :)

[HalfBlindGamer]

That is indeed the Audioline version, or was it Audiosonic? I got it on the cheap a while ago and never seen it before that. It's a really fun system for sure. Do you have many games for it? I got a lot double since of course I forgot which ones I had when I saw a stack somewhere and ended up buying everything I had, but one haha.

Anyway, thanks for watching man, glad you enjoyed it :)

Merry Christmas!

[markvergeer]

The move.... packing up stuff..... where did I hear that before?

Merry Christmast and a happy new year!

[HalfBlindGamer]

I'm never one for originality ;)

A Merry Christmas for you and Elise!

[TameFan]

Good review. Hehehe Hahaha Hohoho Merry Christmas!

[HalfBlindGamer]

Hihihi, man that sounds wrong...

Thanks a lot man!

Merry Christmas!

[Logdotzip]

I love your humor so much! You could easily take it to soooo many other places. Consider being a Gamer AND a Comedian! You'd be surprised how funny you are, without trying it seems.

[HalfBlindGamer]

Lol, thanks man. It's funny you say that, I've been getting that off and on in other things I do too. Who knows, someday ;)

Have a Merry Christmas man!

[Logdotzip]

And you too!

[ianwilson1978]

Nice video Seb! Merry Christmas :)

[HalfBlindGamer]

Thanks Ian, glad you liked it!

Merry Christmas!

[HappyConsoleGamer]

Hey Merry Christmas! great video! very funny!

[HalfBlindGamer]

Thanks a lot man, good to hear you enjoyed it :)

Merry Christmas to you and Rob man!

[Jprime777]

Great review, you had me fooled at the beginning

[HalfBlindGamer]

Whoohoo, hah, sorry :) Glad you liked it, thanks man! Merry Christmas!

[Jprime777]

Merry christmas to you too, here's to 2010 :D

[Chipsturs]

lol oh man the intro was the funniest yet! so well timed and it had me in stiches! i can see the sonic in that game lol, Merry Christmas!

[HalfBlindGamer]

Haha, thanks a lot Chips! Really glad you liked it :)

Have a Merry Christmas mate!

[MaximumRD]

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Loved the video! Did you purposely spell it Cristmas? Glad to see a new CDi review!

[HalfBlindGamer]

@MaximumRD errr yeah... Yes, of course I did that on purpose! Aint it clever?

Hah, no as usual I just got inpatient and processed it before proofreading it. I saw it when 'testing' the video, but since processing takes forever I just hoped no one would spot it, thanks for ruining that hope lol. Merry Christmas Rob!

[MaximumRD]

@HalfBlindGamer Heh heh well I am pretty fussy about stuff like that, but at the same time I would not bother to re-do it either lol! I look forward to more great videos in the new year!

[HalfBlindGamer]

Thanks man, great to hear you like these.

I'm normally a bit of a perfectionist on these kind of things, but lately my PC has been running so slow and everything takes forever and it just pissed me off in the end and things get a bit sloppy :(

[Atarix777]

very awesome video man - happy holidays and a good move ;-)

[HalfBlindGamer]

@Atarix777 Thanks man! Happy Holidays to you too!

[fisken15]

Merry christmas buddy! You made a hilarious and good review.

[HalfBlindGamer]

@fisken15 Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it, Merry Christmas!

[clays121]

Loved the start of this video, it had me LMAO, good luck with the move, hope everything goes well for ya there Seb. :-)

[HalfBlindGamer]

@clays121 Thanks a lot! I'm sure it'll all turn out great :)

Really glad you liked the video, thanks man!
